Cancer caused by overweight

Do you know that being overweight can lead to cancer?
On Wednesday, international reporters said being overweight can be linked to the likelihood of someone being diagnosed with cancer, which include cancer of the stomach, digestive tract and certain brain and reproductive tumors. Eight other kinds of cancer have been added to the list of cancers known to be caused by overweight.
Various kinds of cancer affecting the colon, breast, oesophagus, kidney and uterine has been stated to be some consequences of accumulating ecxess fat, as well as unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking.

Researchers stated that limiting weight gain can help reduce the risk of such cancer, as about nine percent of women in North America had cancer resulting from ecxess weight gain.

Cancer arises with no explanation and some of the causes include virus, pollutants, genetic factors and radiation.

However, adopting a healthy lifestyle such as eating a healthy diet, maintaining your weight, exercising and not smoking can have a significant impact on reducing cancer.
